Company Description

Our purpose

With 85% of the global population living in emerging and frontier markets, we see not only billions of opportunities to take, but also billions of lives to improve.

Great ideas and talent exist everywhere, not just in the Silicon Valley. Capital, business support, and access to networks, on the other hand, do not. We envision a world where every talented and determined entrepreneur has access to the resources that they need to grow their business and create a lasting impact in their communities.

Changemakers

We are a company of change makers across Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central-Eastern Europe, and Asia who are passionate about making a difference in emerging and frontier markets through entrepreneurship and technology.

As an international investment and education company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, our work spans 90+ countries with 15 offices around the globe. We support the world’s most ambitious and dedicated entrepreneurs in growing and scaling their companies to create meaningful and lasting change.

Promising entrepreneurs

The focus of our work is to invest in the most promising entrepreneurs heading up high-growth companies in emerging and frontier markets. We support these ventures with customised and responsive programs to help them develop profitable companies that can have a broader impact.

Seedstars partners with governments, developmental financial institutions, foundations, corporations and investors to build sturdy and healthy entrepreneurial ecosystems that drive purposeful social and economic development. To do this, we use our global cross-sector expertise, and we harness the power of our international community.

Our values

GET SH*T DONE

We move the needle. We are changemakers in passionate pursuit of advancing entrepreneurship — but we don’t just ‘do’ for the sake of doing. We focus on the right things, progressing on that which has the biggest impact.

IN EXPERIMENTS WE TRUST

We operate in complex and uncertain markets. We’re doing what no one else has done before. To that end, we push the boundaries of our current knowledge through focused learning and data-driven experiments.

INDEPENDENTLY TOGETHER

We’re on a mission bigger than any of us. We work in sync to achieve our goals and move towards our vision, but we also value independent thinkers.

OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

We’re movers and shakers trying to challenge the status quo. We boldly try new things and take risks.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

We’re not driven by profit, but we understand that money keeps us alive and helps us move towards our vision. We understand the financial implications of our decisions and we value our resources.

HACK THE SYSTEM

We move fast with less resources. We believe we can find our way around any problem by thinking outside the box.

KEEP IT SWISS

We are committed to creating the ultimate value for our customers and partners and delivering it on time and with attention to detail, in line with the highest quality standards.

NO EXCUSES

We deliver on our promises and are accountable for our actions.
